Sleeping sunflower

OK. This is my first image post, and I am extremely anxious to hear your thoughts.

The image was taken with a Canon 50D and EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens @ 60mm.

I used LR to increase the green and aqua, and did a ton of spot removal to remove the pollen (which were distracting in the original at full size). I also adjusted the exposeure and temperature to get what I wanted.

The 'after' has a nice pop to it.
